## Someone who traveled in the desert. <Ref>The Gemara ([[Brachot]] 54b) states that the four people who are obligated to say the Bracha of HaGomel are one who was freed from jail, one who was sick and was healed, one who travel at sea, and one who traveled in the desert. The Gemara learns it from the pasuk in tehillim “They strayed in the wilderness, in the desolation of the road… Hungry as well as thirsty… They rise heavenward, they descend to the depths.” (Tehillim 107:4-5, 26). The acronym for this in hebrew is Chayim. The Rambam ([[Brachot]] 10:8), S”A 219:1, and Kitzur S"A 61:1 codify this as halacha.  </ref>

# Some say that anyone who was in near mortal danger such as someone saved from a wall collapsing, a lion attack, a goring ox, or a band of thieves at night, must make a Bracha.

Magen Avraham 219:10 and Mishna Brurah 219:32 write that the Ashkenazic minhag follows this opinion.</ref> For specific situations, see a posek. <Ref>See also Piskei Teshuvot 218, Halichot Shlomo 23:1 </ref>
